The Company and Group have all requisite power and authority to own and operate their properties and assets and to carry on their business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. Each of the Company, Group and their Subsidiaries are qualified to do business as a foreign entity in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so
qualified would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, upon the business, properties, tangible and intangible assets, liabilities, operations, prospects, financial condition or results of operation of the Company, Group and their Subsidiaries taken as whole or the ability of the Company and Group to perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents (a “Material Adverse Effect”).
(b)Power. The Company and Group have all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and any other documents or agreements explicitly contemplated hereunder (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), to sell and issue the Securities hereunder, and to carry out and perform their obligations under the terms of the Transaction Documents.
(c)Authorization. The execution, delivery, and performance of each Transaction Document by the Company and Group has been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Company and Group and their officers, directors, managers and stockholders, respectively, and each Transaction Document constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Company and Group enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (the “Enforceability Exceptions”).
(d)Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities to be sold by the Company and Group, respectively, under the Transaction Documents, the performance by the Company and Group of their obligations, respectively, under the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including without limitation, the issuance of the Securities) do not and will not (a) conflict with, result in the breach or violation of, or constitute (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) a violation of, or default under, (i) any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness, or under any lease, license, franchise, permit, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, joint venture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company, Group or any of their Subsidiaries is a party or by which they or their properties may be bound or affected, (ii) the Company’s and Group’s respective formation and governing documents, each as amended and as in effect on the date hereof or the equivalent document with respect to any of the Company’s and Group’s Subsidiaries, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof, or (iii) any statute or law, judgment, decree, rule, regulation, ordinance or order of any court or governmental or regulatory body (including the New York Stock Exchange or any successor entity (“NYSE”)), governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority applicable to the Company or Group, any of their subsidiaries or their respective properties, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, encumbrance, claim, security interest or restriction whatsoever upon any of the material properties or assets of the Company, Group or any of their Subsidiaries or an acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any material bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company, Group or any if its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company, Group or any of their Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or Group is subject.
(e)Issuance of Securities. The Securities are duly authorized and when issued and paid for pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and any other documents or agreements explicitly contemplated hereunder (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and will be free of any liens or encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof; provided, however, that the Securities shall be subject to restrictions on transfer under state or federal securities laws as set forth in the Transaction Documents, or as otherwise may be required under state or federal securities laws as set forth in the Transaction Documents at the time a transfer is proposed. Except as disclosed in reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) during the twelve (12) calendar months prior to the date hereof (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits and appendices included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”), the issuance and delivery of the Securities will not be subject to preemptive, co-sale, right of first refusal or any other similar rights of any stockholder of the Company or unitholder of Group or any other person, or any liens or encumbrances or result in the triggering of any anti-dilution or other similar rights under any outstanding securities of the Company or Group.

(g)No Registration. Assuming the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 4 hereof, the issuance by the Company and Group of the Securities, respectively, is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
4.Purchasers’ Representations. In connection with the receipt of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents to the Company and Group as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:
(a)No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement do not and will not contravene or constitute a default under, or violation of, or be subject to penalties under, (i) any agreement (or require the consent of any party under any such agreement that has not been made or obtained) to which such Purchaser is a party, or (ii) any judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon such Purchaser, except where such contravention, default, violation or failure to obtain a consent, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to impair such Purchaser’s ability to perform fully any obligation which such Purchaser has or will have under this Agreement.
(b)Accredited Investor Status. Such Purchaser understands the definition of the term “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, and such Purchaser qualifies as an accredited investor.
(c)No Public Sale or Distribution. Such Purchaser is aware of the Company’s and Group’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company and Group to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or under any applicable provision of state law in violation of the Securities Act or such applicable provision of state law. Such Purchaser does not have any present intention to transfer the Securities to any other person or entity in such a “distribution;” provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser (i) does not agree to hold any of the Securities it acquires for any minimum or other specific term and (ii) reserves the right to dispose of any or all the Securities it acquires at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or a registration exemption under the Securities Act and pursuant to the applicable terms of this Agreement.
(d)Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of such Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available.
Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company and Group have no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale pursuant to this Agreement (however, the Securities shall be considered Registrable Securities (as defined in that certain Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2017, by and among the Company, Group and the other parties thereto) (the "RRA")).
(e)Information. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and Group and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and Group. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s and Group’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.
(f)No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
(g)Transfer or Resale. Such Purchaser understands that: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company and Group an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Group, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such Purchaser provides the Company and Group with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended (“Rule 144”) (or a successor rule thereto); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company, Group nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.
(h)Legends. Such Purchaser understands that the book entry statements or internal corporate recordkeeping equivalent thereof representing the Securities and, until such time as the resale of the Securities has been registered under the Securities Act, the book entry statements or internal corporate recordkeeping equivalent thereof representing the Securities, except as set forth below, shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such Securities):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company or Group, as appropriate shall issue a book entry statement or annotate the internal corporate recordkeeping equivalent thereof without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act and such holder has requested legend removal in connection with a bona fide registered sale, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company or Group with an opinion of a law firm reasonably acceptable to the Company and Group, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Group, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and such Securities are no longer required to bear a restrictive legend, or (iii) such Securities have been validly sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 and such holder has furnished the Company and Group with customary documentation to effect such legend removal.
(i)Validity; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Purchaser and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.
(5)Covenants.
(a)Reasonable Best Efforts. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts timely to satisfy each of the covenants and conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement.
(b)Reporting Status. Until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Purchasers shall have sold all the Securities, (ii) the date on which all the Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without (x) the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as to such securities and (y) volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iii) the date which is two (2) years from the Effective Date (the “Reporting Period”), the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination.
(c)Listing of Shares. In the time and manner required by NYSE, the Company shall prepare and file with NYSE an additional shares listing notification covering all of the Securities.
(d)Fees. The Company and Group shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or broker’s commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any Purchaser) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers.

8.Indemnification.
(a)To the extent permitted by law, the Company and Group shall indemnify each Purchaser and his employees and agents, with respect to which any registration that has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or action in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 8(d) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereof, or other document prepared by the Company and incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse each Purchaser and his employees, and agents for reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred and documented in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred; provided that the Company and Group will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and Group by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use in preparation of the registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided however, that the Company and Group will not be liable in any such case where the claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is related to the failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 8 respecting sales of the Securities, and except that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus but eliminated or
remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement becomes effective or in an amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) which meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act (each, a “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any such Purchaser, if a copy of a Final Prospectus furnished by the Company to the Purchaser for delivery was not furnished to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and a Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim or damage.
(b)Each Purchaser will, severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company and Group, each of their directors and managers and officers, and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 8(d) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, Group, such directors and managers and officers, and each Person controlling the Company and Group for reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred and documented in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use in preparation of the registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided that the indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such claim, loss, damage or liability results from the fact that the Final Prospectus was not made available to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and a Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Purchaser’s aggregate liability pursuant to this subsection shall not exceed the net proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Class A Common Stock included in the registration statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c)Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 8(c) (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at its expense) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent. No Indemnifying Party, in its defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8(d) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault
of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
9.Miscellaneous.
(a)Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Purchaser on or before five (5) business days from the date hereof due to the Company’s or Group’s or such Purchaser’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6 above (and the nonbreaching party does not waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party.

(l)No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
(m)Remedies. Each Purchaser and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security) to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company and Group recognize that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Purchasers. The Company and Group therefore agree that a Purchaser shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.
